Spinning

Time to catch up.

Good weekend. On Sunday we had one of those stay-at-home days. Not going out all day is still a revelation -- playing games during daylight hours, amazing!

So far, this week

My Netflix got hijacked. I received a warning that my password had been successfully changed. WTF WTF WTF! I was still logged in to the service via my phone, I could see a new email address associated with my account and two new profiles had replaced my own set of profiles. They were situated in Spain, judging by their IP addresses and new language assignment. I got straight onto customer support via their VoIP contact system and immediately grabbed my account back. Very damned strange. I changed all my passwords and set up 2-step verification on my email. I wish I could identify where they captured my password - was it my recent use of Discus, the video editor I trialed or maybe an infected mobile device? Damn, I hate not knowing.

Dishonored 2: Death of the Outsider

Loving it! I knew I would but hadn't got around to playing. What's refreshing is that I'm not tied to a total stealth playthrough which often takes a very long time. I'm enjoying the chase, where crowds of murderous guards come after me -- Billie Lurk can usually slip away to an out-of-reach balcony or sprint into a warren.

It's like playing in an oil painting

I was once again, stunned by the beauty of the design. So much so that I decided to stop playing and do some "game tourism." That's where you go into a game world with the single intention of enjoying the sights and capturing the moments using an in-game camera or amazing tools like Nvidia's Ansel (what I used).

Valentine's Day

Pizza for dinner, a bit of beer but Clara was exhausted from her early shift.

Saturday:We took the boys took the boys to Rother Valley Park, given that it has a mini train line, a pretty good playground, and some handsome man-made lakes. It took me back to my occasional attempts at windsurfing, many years ago.

Sunday:
Clara took Noah to George's birthday party, at Castaway Cove. I took Leo to the swimming baths, which he barely tolerated. Leo: "Don't like! Don't LIKE!"Sketches:I completed another round of ship drawings, deciding on the depiction of the Andrew Bolton-class Cruiser, along with its Gordon-class sloops.

At home: Clara working a late shift, back just in time for the boys' bedtime. We discussed the possibility that she might end up looking after the poor wretch who jumped from the Sheffield's main tram bridge, on Wednesday evening -- although she'd never acknowledge or discuss the matter if she did. I picked the boys up at 12:40 and took them to Hillsborough Park, which is just possibly becoming less of a pain. Looking after two boys with differing play interests is hard when you're an unapologetic helicopter parent who must hover close by at all times.

Work: About a week until release. Working through the last few tasks. Pressure pretty low, although beyond the specific tasks of the release there are a lot of things that need fixing or improving within the docs. Still, the new User Guide is a big improvement in terms of usability.

Reading: Re-reading Chuck Gannon's Fire with Fire, rushing through with an eye for details concerning ships and technology. I'm planni…
